This year, the 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Awards proved that innovation is not slowing down. Advanced battery technology has moved certain tools into corded tool territory. On top of that, larger and denser batteries are making run-time less of an issue.

OSHA continued to challenge tool manufacturers with safer standards that were fully implemented just this past year. Accessories also took to the spotlight. Tool innovation and technology made its way to the place where Pros actually perform the work.

The 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Awards show off the very best and brightest power tools, hand tools, corded tools, and pneumatic tools. Our judging team also looked at new fasteners, accessories, and construction materials. We hope that general contractors, plumbers, electricians, masons, and others take this list to heart as they choose which tools to purchase this year.
